College Essay as a genre

<p>honestly i think that when a kid writes an essay to get into college it should be 100% their work.. i see so many kids posting their essays on here, asking for input, asking for a critique.. and many of them seem to practically rewrite their essays afterwords.. I don't know, i just think that's not their work.. when you apply to school you should be giving what you think, using your own writing styles.. not your style mixed with comments from 50 other people..</p>
